Arcam Delta 150 NICAM - Manual (Page 12)

Delta 150 NICAM stereo TV tuner handbook
Remote control handset
The Delta 150 is supplied with the CR50 remote control
handset. It is powered by 4 x manganese alkaline AAA cells (supplied),
which are inserted in the base of the handset. To access the battery
compartment, slide the whole bottom panel forwards approximately
5cm (2 inches).
Take care to insert the batteries the right way round. We
recommend that the batteries are removed from the handset if the unit is
not to be used for some time.
Remote functions
The CR50 allows remote operation of the volume, mute,
standby, audio mode (NICAM or FM) and channel change functions.
Pressing the volume + button increases the volume.
Pressing the volume - button reduces the volume.
The system takes about 10 seconds to go from minimum to
maximum volume or vice versa. When the Delta 150 is first turned on,
the volume level is automatically set for a quiet listening level, i.e. about
30 dB below the maximum output.
Pressing the mute button mutes the audio output fully.
Pressing the mute button a second time restores the output. This is
particularly useful for answering the phone, or when the door bell rings.
Pressing the NICAM button selects the audio mode, either
FM or NICAM. Pressing the NICAM button when a dual language
programme is transmitted selects either LI or L2.
Pressing one of the 8 channel preset buttons selects the
desired channel directly.
Pressing the standby button puts the Delta 150 into the
'standby' mode. The audio, video and remodulated RF output signals are
muted and all LEDs are extinguished except the power LED. Pressing the
standby button again restores all functions to their pre-standby status.
The CR50 handset has a range of about 5 metres, and should
always be pointed towards the centre of the unit. Take care not to
obstruct the remote receiver (located next to the channel number LED),
or the tuner will not receive the handset's commands.
When using the handset, hold each button down for about 1
second. Do not attempt to press more than one button at a time.
Note
1. If the remote control becomes lost or accidentally
disabled, it is possible to remove the Delta 150 from its 'standby' or mute
modes by briefly switching the unit off and on again with the mains
power switch.
2. The two unmarked buttons on the CR50 have
no function.
Connecting cables
When dealing with high quality hi fi components, such as
those with the resolving power of the Delta 150, the question of
connecting cables becomes of paramount importance: We strongly
recommend that only first class interconnect cables are used, such as
those from the AudioQuest range. Detailed information on the
AudioQuest range of video and audio interconnect cables can be
obtained from your dealer, or the factory.
As a rule of thumb, you might consider budgeting to spend
between 5% and 20% of the cost of your system on cable. Surprising
though it may seem, this can be one of the most effective upgrades you
can carry out.
We suggest that you discuss the matter of video and audio
interconnect cables (and loudspeaker cables) with your dealer.
